Pros

I had the valuable experience of engaging in all phases of design, particularly focusing on boutique hotels and resorts. The opportunity to collaborate with the Principal on diverse hotel design concepts and work alongside skilled Architects to develop comprehensive CD sets was instrumental in my professional growth. Managing construction administration tasks under senior guidance further deepened my understanding of design solutions, materials, and products.

Cons

The work pace at DDA is notably swift, accompanied by high-pressure situations. Adapting to this demanding environment requires flexibility and a consistent commitment to retaining and applying daily acquired knowledge. Effective self-management, proactive learning, and adept time control are crucial skills for success in this dynamic setting.

Dawson Design Associates Response

This is an accurate description for individuals who are uncomfortable with fully immersing themselves into the DDA culture. Everyone is expected to learn and apply our organized processes and procedures that have been developed and tested over 35 year. We are an internationally award winning team. We have high ideals for growth and development for every team player. We work, coach and train collaboratively as a tightly coordinated team and move fast. Our team members are very synchronized in a environment promoting originality, creativity and imagination. Those that prefer to work independently and believe it is their right to produce deliverables and make decisions in the way that they are already comfortable with, will not be happy working at DDA. There are far better options than DDA if that is what they are seeking. We wish them well. DDA is not for everybody.
